I am feeling terrible- depressed and anxious.I have a terrible habit of catastrophising and worry constantly about health, work, family- everything.I am not sleeping or eating properly either and finding it hard to focus.

I would like to take some time off but resisting the idea of raising it.I am quite private and hate the idea of people 'knowing' I am not quite right.I understand that you don't have to reveal exactly what is going on, but it still makes me awkward.Never been one to take time out, more likely to 'plough on'.

Does anyone have a similar experience, or has anyone felt like me in terms of not wanting to disappear for a few weeks? If I had a broken arm, it wouldn't bother me.
